"I was greatly moved and impressed with
John and Susan's films 'Tsaatan Shaman
Ceremonies of the Reindeer Herders' and
'Siqingua, Daur Shaman'. I felt
transported to the vast Mongolian
landscape and connected to the healers
and ancient ways of knowing. I witnessed
rare, extraordinary footage of vanishing
nomadic lifeways and never-before-seen
shamanic ritual. I recognize the
valuable teaching these stories can
offer us about how to live sustainably,
in harmony with the land in the context
of a living, vibrant spiritual
cosmology. John and Susan are dedicated
ethnographic researchers and deeply
caring; they are personally committed to
cultural preservation and to reseeding
traditional shamanic knowledge in these
remote areas. My sense is that their
efforts will continue to contribute to
an essential revitalization of these
traditional cultures for many
generations to come. I am honored to
bear witness to the positive impact and
infusion of hope that Susan and John
bring to these communities and to all
the work they do." Ann Amberg, Whidbey
